Artist Comment

I started this on May 2010 and almost three years have passed, in that time I finished school and started to work and a
whole lot of other things that kept me away...but anyway...

Photoshop CS3Roxas
Layers: +2,200, yeah I know :I
Time: I really have no idea, I paused it A LOT.
PSD File: 70mb
Original scan: Kingdom Hearts: All
Together

I don't remember where but I heard about Vexel art and I decided to make this as a challenge to try something new, it
sure took my time and I had to redo layers again and again, but it was worth it, I'm happy I was able to finish (:
...
I think I picked the image because at that time I was playing KH 358/2 Days and Roxas is one of my favorite characters
from KH.Favorite part: The face! It was the first thing I did and I thought that it
looked like magic haha :XHardest part: Omg the hair D:, in the original imagen it's not that defined and
I had to redo a lot of details.

Background
Layers: +200
Time: Two weeks, working 2 hours per day more or less.
PSD File: 30mb
Image used: here.

In all the time I was working I kept my mind busy thinking about a good background, because Roxas is kinda the
depressing character and in here he looks self-confident (and sexy *-*), so I just couldn't find something good enough.
Then suddenly I played KH Dream Drop Distance aaaaaand problem solved =D the angle was just perfect! I have to say it's
my first time painting something that isn't clouds or water XDFavorite part: The sky! :DNot-so-favorite part: The lines, I changed the colors, the size, the texture, it
just keep looking kinda odd..it still does .-.

Even though I'm not really convinced about the BG I love the vector, maybe because of the time I spent on it, but I hope
you like it (:
Critiques and comment are well appreciated ^^~!

WHERE ART THOU HAD BEEN ; v ;
I remember you gave me the screenshot (3 years ago lol).
it came out pretty good although I guess the outline for Roxas is just too thick and kinda misplaced with the bg. but I
like the sunset colors. I feel the bg looks like cake though, it looks pretty squishy but it's probably just me. Overall
GREAT JOB AND WELCOME BACK.
